DALLAS, Sept. 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Match
Group (NASDAQ: MTCH) announced today that its indirect wholly
owned subsidiary, Match Group Holdings II, LLC (the
"Issuer") has agreed to sell $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of
3.625% senior notes due 2031 (the "Notes") in a private
offering (the "Notes Offering"). The Notes Offering is

The Issuer intends to distribute a portion of the net proceeds
of the Notes Offering to Match Group for its use, together with the
net proceeds of Match Group's concurrent registered direct offering

certain note hedges and warrant transactions, to repurchase 0.875%

agreements with a limited number of current holders of such
exchangeable notes. The Issuer intends to use any remaining net
proceeds of the Notes Offering for general corporate purposes.
The Notes Offering is being made only to persons reasonably
believed to be qualified institutional buyers in accordance with
Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), and to certain non-U.S. persons in
accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes
will not be registered under the Securities Act and may not be
offered or sold without registration unless an exemption from such
